Crytek - PPP1

The Crytek game engine is know for creating stunning work visually but also for the gameplay side of things as well they have been known for making the Crysis series and also for making the far cry series as well i feel like this game engine is stunning in such a way that it makes you forget that your playing a game it takes the player away to another world in my eyes because its been done to perfection that you completely forget that its all computer generated work.

Ubisoft - PPP1

Ubisoft is a company that is known for the creation of prince of persia sand of time and also the works of assassins creed and many more the company was founded in 1986 by five brothers of the Guillemot family, i think that ubisofts works have been amazing in that every game they make they always keep to making a good story and also they like tio make sure that the player is enjoying and immersed in every last bit of the game. 

Tomb Raider - PPP1

The latest Tomb Raider game has lived unto its expectations for me because they story in the game was out this world everything they have you do as Lara croft in this game is outstanding when you are in caves for instance their are parts that make you feel claustrophobic because of how close the walls are yet after you have gone out they are wolves that come out of know where then you have to defend yourself against them and try to survive there isn't a health bar so you carnt see how much you have remaining that i felt added to the game of trying to bring realism to it.

Final Fantasy 14 - PPP1

Final Fantasy 14 is still underway of being made i have recently had a chance to try out the BETA of the game and i feel like its going great i didn't encounter any bugs in the game everything ran fine but i do feel like they could introduce more quests for the character to do something that relates more to the class you choose so that it feels like you are actually doing stuff thats ment for your choice e.g Hunters

Doctor Who - PPP1

The latest series of doctor who have had alot more special effect in them that because i feel like it kinda takes away the feeling of the doctor who series but then when they have someone like Matt Smith playing the Doctor he brings so much more to him by adding more of an emotion to the role he portrays the doctor as being funny and also very dark at some points this brings more to the show because its what i feel the show has been lacking for quite a while.

The Dark Knight Rises - PPP1

The Dark knight Rises , i think that out of the other two films the dark knight rises has to be one of the best because it hs everything what a film needs brilliant cg effects that dont even look fake even the whole scripts and the film has been made to perfection when i heard about this film i thought that bane would have been a hard character to make look realistic compared to his comic book adaptation but then they did make it more real that i thought could ever happen this film is a must see .

The Witcher 2 - PPP1

The witcher 2 is set in the medieval times where you play a cursed man who has to seek out and destroy demons this game has one of the most difficult game controls i have used in a while it is all around the gamepad but it takes a while to get used to them then on the other hand the graphics and the story have been made beautifully so that you forget about struggling against things when you play .

The Hobbit - PPP1

The hobbit an unexpected journey is the first film of 3 parts the second one to hit our screens in december will be called desolation of smaug , i felt like the film has stuck to the books quite well apart from that certain characters didn't appear in the book i can see why peter jackson has added them in so that it would be more like a hollywood block buster but then i didn't see why he did it the films would be a lot better if they stuck to the boks word for word rather than going off in a tangent.

Splinter Cell Conviction - PPP1

Splinter Cell Conviction is set when sam fisher is trying to find out who has killed his daughter and you take on the role of finding that out you go torture cut scenes that blend from gameplay to cutsece where you have the chance to take the NPC - non playable character anywhere you want then ypu can interrogate them for information after that you can take any route to get to your objectives they are still structured out like all the other games but it doesn't seem as guided as the other splinter cells have been in the past.

Assassins Creed Black Flag - PPP1

AC black flag is the next game to be released by ubisoft and its alo the fourth installment in the assassins creed games its set in the 1800 hundreds and you are an ex british naval officer who has wanted to take the law into his own hands you sail under the black flag as you are a captain of your own naval pirate ship you are going to be able to adventure on islands and look for hidden treasure hunt down tempers and kill anyone who stands in your way.

Gears of War Judgement Day - PPP1

Gears of War judgement day this is one of the games that i was looking forward to but then again i started to want more out of it that it actually delivered i was let down by every part of the game the campaign let me down alot the gameplay controls where the same as gears 3 and then the new targeting system wasn't the way that it was like in the past games to me i feel like they have changed far too much for the game it should have stayed the same .

Copyright law - PPP1

Copyright initially was conceived as a way for government to restrict printing; the contemporary intent of copyright is to promote the creation of new works by giving authors control of and profit from them. Copyrights are said to be territorial, which means that they do not extend beyond the territory of a specific state unless that state is a party to an international agreement. Today, however, this is less relevant since most countries are parties to at least one such agreement. 

The Amazing Spiderman - PPP1

The Amazing Spiderman came out last year and it had mixed reviews but i loved the film how they had stuck to the comic book adaptations of peter parker i felt like this was a better decision to go ahead and start from the beginning so that e could see the true story of how parker became to be the amazing spiderman .

Grand Theft Auto 5 - PPP1

GTA5 is the next installment in the games and it has been trailed and also there has been concept art shown i feel like this next installment will be the best one of them so far compared to GTA 4 i felt that game was abit lacking in story it seemed like it had loads of bugs with the gameplay that should have been fixed before they sent it out to the world but never the less this game seems like its going to be bringing exactly what im wanting i hope it lives unto the hype its receiving from ign and game.

Iron Man 3 - PPP1

Iron man 3 for me has to be one of the best in the series especially compared to iron man 2 this film has constant action and always has tony stark going into action he is dealing with what happend to him from after he saved the world with the avenger but the way that the script has been written it seamlessly combines them together so that you wouldn't be able to tell that its been a while since the last film.

Star Wars the Old Republic - PPP1

Star wars the old republic is similar to world of warcraft but there is many differences compared to the two for instance star wars has more of a character development side aspect to it because it always offers the player different opportunities to change how they want to be either on the good side of the force or the bad side of the force, the down side to this game is that it is missing the high level side you can only take your character unto level 55 and then its capped so that you carnt go any further .

Hitman Absolution/ Hitman the film - PPP1

 Hitman first came to the xbox console in hitman contracts then slowly over the years has developed into this big franchise that has been able to create a film and many more games that involve Agent 47 , the latest in the games is hitman absolution that has agent 47 on the run from the company and also has to defend himself against the police and many others.

Hitman the film, sees agent 47 getting framed by his agency that he works for he is paid to kill a russian president but after he has taken the shot it turns out that in face he killed a body double of him so then he has to take a dangerous journey back into russia to take out his target and also deal with all the obstacles thats in his way as he does so.

Batman Origins - PPP1

Batman Origins is now being made an is scheduled for release on november 25, 2013 so far they have released a trailer for the game that shows a few interesting characters thats going to be appearing in the game and also they have shown off abit of the new combat style thats going to be introduced during the game play.

Lord of the rings War in the North - PPP1

Lord of the rings War in the North is an RPG role playing game its basically like skyrim but it has its bugs with it, for me the game is great its exactly what the LOTR franchise has been needing for a while in the company but then the game runs abit slow with how it all flows together the graphic content could have been done better with all the cutscenes and also with the gameplay .

Halo 4 - PPP1

Halo 4 was i pitch perfect game i mean in the sense of the story telling it was beautifully put together in the way that you could relate to what was happening but then on the other hand it had aspects to it that let the game down, the whole game engine could have done with being updated to have a better combat system but then i still wasn't bothered by it because once you have played a halo game they are all the game thing so it shouldn't take too much away from the experience.

Crysis 3 - PPP1

Crysis 3 was a game that i had high hopes for but when i played the finished product i felt like that they could have done so much more with the game like for instance the story campaign could have been longer and have gone into more depth about what happend to new york then it could have worked on a better and more fluid fighting system, the game was still an outstanding piece of work the way it looked knocked me back at first because everything about it seemed to look flawless .

Wold of Warcraft - PPP1

World of Warcraft is a game that i have been playing for many years this is one of the games that would never get old because they are always bringing out expansion packs that make the game longer but it also adds to the character level experience for the player because every expansion that comes out the level cap has been raised so that offers a lot to the already higher leveled players but on the other hand i feel like the game needs to update the graphic look of the game it feels a bit outdated sometimes whilst you play and that for me makes the game get a bit tiring, the quests are constantly their for you to do so thats another aspect whats amazing about Word of Warcraft.

Skyrim - PPP1

 One game that i have always been a fan of is the Elder scrolls franchise i feel like in there latest game elder scrolls Skyrim it lived up to the expectations of the other games if had everything that the player would want its filled with hundreds of quests and side quests so the game feels like its never ending but if you had the game on the Pc you can get mods for the game that you download on Steam so then the game would feel like it never ends because you can constantly update and get more out of the game with new mods and also with the graphics as well .

OUDF406 - Concept

For my last image of my concept art i have shown what its going to look like from the side view, its going to be a dark setting with a mirky water thats will surrond you a gazebo is in the back but i has been made to look like it fits in seamlessly with my level then after that you can go inside and have a look around whilst the music plays over whatever you will be doing yet at the same time there is always the feeling of getting watched when adventuring around .

OUDF406 - Concept

This is a look at what my level will be laid out like it is going to be surrounded by trees and a mountain side that is spiked at the top then a walkway is going tobe directly in the middle of the water you can walks all around my level so you can experience every part of what i have made i feel like this has shown the emotion that i have picked .

OUDF406 - Concept

For my game level i designed a rough look at what it would be looking like from a birds eye view it is going to be a collapsed volcano that is covered in water and then there is going to be trees that have grown there in the lover half of my level their will be a gazebo that has a hidden secret inside it for the player to look at and see why i have chosen fear .

OUDF406 - Gaming Industry

During the many years that the game consoles have been out we have seen a difference in the quality of the game graphics as well over the generations such as Tomb Raider for instance this image shows how our games have evolved over the years by the way the characters look and also the way that the game runs aswell E.g in Tomb Raider 1, the games seemed to be abit bland but it still lived up to its expetations by delivering a great back story for the character and also for the missions but on the otherhand the gameplay wasnt the best part of the game it felt abit lags in some aspects but now the game developers have had years to learn from the mistakes the last few releases from the games where outstanding with everything the story and narrative where blended together and the gameplay wasn't bad but it showed where they went wrong the first time.

Concept art in the industry

The art of kekai Kotaki for Guild Wars i feel it relates to the mood that i am trying to generate in my own game level i have looked throughout most of his images and i get the same feeling throughout them all when i look at his work i can see that he has taken a lot of time to detail every little bit on the page right down to the distance even being drawn to perfection i feel like his work can relate to my own in a way because the emotion from this image to me shows fear and thats the exact thing that i am trying to bring across in my level.

OUDF406 - Create texturing

After struggling with texturing i eventually got the hang of it by following a step by step video on how to texture so i tried to create crate that i was going to show in my game level but i decided that i didn't want to add it because it didn't suite what emotion i wanted and it also didn't fit into my world that i create.

OUDF406 - My level

This is a birds eye view of my level that i have created using maya and also unity when i made this i was always referencing back to my concept art so that i knew exactly what i was going to be creating, i had created the mountains by using the terrain button with unity then after that i had crated a gazebo in maya that i had to export onto my unity then the texture had to be added to it so that you coud see the final outcome.

OUDF406 - My Game level

 Whilst i wat texturing my walkway for the game level i tried to UV map it so that the texture i wanted would wrap itself around the 3D model i had created, so after i had gone thought that process i added the seamless texture and started to work on my archway so the play could walk through to and look around my level after

this is the finished look of my walkway that would be going into my level the once i had finished that i then went to export selection from maya then saved it as a FBF file format so that it could be imported into unity .

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

Whilst i was designing my mountains on unity i had realsied that i wanted to make them look tall and menacing so that the player would feel small whilst they towered over you so for that example i had chosen two images that would explain how and why i wanted that kinda appeal for my level because i had chosen fear so that meant that it should be a dark and mysterious place with a vivid style to it that means allot of spikes and weird things around the place to show what im trying to bring across .

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

For my game level i am going to be creating a gaped in-between a rocky mountain just like this i thought that i would show you a rough look at what i am trying to make for my own level but its not going to look like this its going to be my own creation im bringing across the emotion of fear to my level so it is going to be a dark atmosphere and a dark mood setting though out my level so that it should scare the player .

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

I realsied that for my idea i would want to be adding a water texture so ive looked at multiple games where the water looks most realistic as possible so that when it comes to me doing mine i would have the best reference to look at for my game level .

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

Whilst i was looking for some form to create my idea i was looking over the past games that ive played that could give me the inspiration that i needed to come up with my horror idea so i looked into bioshock and also slender man so that i could get the idea of being alone in one place with no one else there to help you.

 After looking at bioshock i tried to play slender man to see what it is like and also try to see if it evokes any emotion out of me i was hoping for that emotion to be fear and i was right, whilst i looked around the map for the notes i always had the feeling of something being there watching me constantly so i feel like that is one aspect that im wanting to carry onto my game level when it comes to creating it.

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

For my level that i would be creating i looked into different forms of horror settings so that i could get the right feeling for my own level so i looked into lord of the rings Lego when Frodo and Sam are in mount doom because that was where i had originally got my idea from by watching the hobbit so i decided to look for certain parts of the films that would convey my message across and also so i could get ideas into my head for the creating part of my level .

OUDF406 - Ideas for my game level

for my idea i decided to go with the concept of fear so i looked into all forms of fear that being scenery and also the certain vibes that would come off a certain place but in the end i decided to go along with a volcano that has collapsed in on itself and then i will be trying to add the correct types of props and scenery that would demonstrate my emotion that i have chosen.

OUDF406 - Game Art Essentials

For our game level brief i decided to create a world that resembled my imagination of hell i wanted the player to feel like they have to go through a journey to get that one special thing they have always wanted my inspirations for this started off when i had watched The Hobbit, in the scene where the dwarfs are being brought to the goblin king on the walkway.
after i saw that it came to me that i had wanted to create a world that is meant to be filled with danger and fear.
